Theoretical and experimental investigation of a thermoelectric generator (TEG) integrated with a phase change material (PCM) for harvesting energy from ambient temperature changes

Theoretical modeling and experimental validation of a thermoelectric generator (TEG) integrated with a phase change material (PCM) are reported in this paper. The proposed device converts the daily ambient temperature variations into a temperature difference on the TEG using a PCM, thus temperature...
